Being an expat can be really a trail on us. You have to adapt to a new life, in a new land, with new culture differences. Sometimes you just have to let it out and cry. This expat puts it well:

The conversation was getting heated, though remained—I thought—cordial, until out of the blue the vendor announced he felt under attack, wasn’t used to clients treating him this way, and that I should take my business elsewhere. At which point I very professionally began to sob. With him on the phone. Mortifying, wracking, nose-blowing sobbing.”
